Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Unchecked Return Value (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-90388)

CWE-ID: CWE-252 - Unchecked Return Value

CVSSv4: 0 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause an IOMMU mapping to be attempted after an allocation failure.

The vulnerability exists due to improper check of an allocation return value in iommu_dma_alloc when executing the non-blocking, non-coherent allocation path. A local user can invoke the affected allocation path during an allocation failure to cause an IOMMU mapping to be attempted after an allocation failure.

The affected path requires CONFIG_DMA_DIRECT_REMAP and non-coherent allocation.
